Clients RAVE about Susan Fitzell

“We all know we need learning organizations, and Susan takes that concept to a whole different level. She talks from a place of really understanding about learning. Imagine having a corporation where each individual knows exactly how they learn and can learn for themselves. We’d have a self-learning organization. Amazing! Susan shares her message through stories that will make you laugh, and some that challenge you. She’s very entertaining while you are being blown away by a whole new concept of the learning individual.” Highest recommendation!

I can’t thank you enough for your enthusiasm, patience, commitment and attention to all of the details throughout the planning process. Teachers and administrators appreciated the concrete ideas, examples and the power of lively small group discussions. All were able to reflect, refresh, and replenish their instructional strategies toolbox.  I highly recommend Susan Fitzell for not only her speaking abilities, but also her workshops she conducts. Both were received very well at our school programs. Her understanding of nuerodiversity is unmatched
